If you could choose when to die, how would you live? Join us on Saturday, July 18 at 1:30 p.m. at the North University Community Library for a free screening of this deeply moving and fearless documentary that invites you into the extraordinary final chapter of Paralympic champion Marieke Vervoort. A four-time gold medalist, Marieke lived with excruciating degenerative spinal pain—yet chose to embrace life with unmatched intensity, humor, and courage. Filmed over three intimate years, the documentary captures Marieke’s journey as she confronts the ultimate choice: when and how to end her suffering under Belgium’s euthanasia law. Rather than a story about death, this is a powerful celebration of life, autonomy, and the human spirit’s capacity to find meaning even in the face of unimaginable suffering. This 86-minute documentary from 2022 will challenge how you think about life, choice, and what it truly means to live fully. The Hemlock Society of San Diego is a 510(c)(3) nonprofit organization providing public education on end-of-life choices.
